Hi All,

We're trying to mount an rbd image inside of a linux container that has been 
created with docker (https://www.docker.io/). We seem to have access to the rbd 
kernel module from inside the container:

# lsmod | grep ceph
libceph               218854  1 rbd
libcrc32c              12603  3 xfs,libceph,dm_persistent_data

And we can query the pool for available rbds and create rbds from inside the 
container:

# rbd -p dockers --id dockers --keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.client.dockers.keyring 
create lxctest --size 51200
# rbd -p dockers --id dockers --keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.client.dockers.keyring ls
lxctest

But for some reason, we can't seem to map the device to the container:

# rbd -p dockers --id dockers --keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.client.dockers.keyring 
map lxctest
rbd: add failed: (22) Invalid argument

I don't see anything particularly interesting in dmesg or messages on either 
the container or the host box. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

….

An strace produces the below results:

#  strace rbd -p dockers --id dockers --keyring 
/etc/ceph/ceph.client.dockers.keyring map test

The app is run inside the container with setuid = 0 and the container is able 
to mount all required filesystems …
Could it be that is not possible to write to /sys/bus/rbd/add inside an lxc 
container ?

Thx,
Om
